It’s a busy day here at the CatBox. My medical waste company will be here in about 45 minutes to exchange my sharps container. The security procedures here are tight. Anytime someone comes for me, they need to call me. Then I need to go down to the lobby and let them in, and have them sign in. To get them to the 3rd floor I need to activate the elevator with a fob card. When they leave, I have to escort them back to the lobby and sign them out. Fortunately, I got a medical exception for WWWendy. She has her own mailbox key and door fobs. Speaking of WWWendy, It’s her day to de-stink the TomCat! Happy Hump Day to all!
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:30 (average 4:57). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Cartoon:
How many have survived the Republican Reich?
Short Takes:
From The New Yorker: A reportedly panic-stricken Donald J. Trump ordered a dozen new Sharpies before releasing a transcript of his phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Trump was reportedly incensed after he discovered that aides had not replenished his supply of Sharpies after he used his last one diverting the path of Hurricane Dorian.
In New York for the United Nations General Assembly, Vice-President Mike Pence scoured stationery stores in midtown Manhattan to find the precious Sharpies, but came up empty.
I see Andy abandoned satire for straight news again. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Trae Crowder Channel): Bubblebustin: A Liberal Redneck Fox News Watch-Along – Ep. 1 – Area 51
Barf Bag Alert!!
On rare occasions, I’ve done the same thing to debunk the Republican Reichsministry Propaganda, Faux Noise. This time, I needed extra Alka-Seltzer. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Robert Reich: Trump’s Economy Revealed
Of course the Reich on the left. Robert Reich, is right. The only financial achievement attributable to the Fuhrer and the Reich on the Right, the Republican Reich is stealing your modest wealth and giving it to greedy Republican billionaires and corporate criminals. RESIST!!
Vote Blue!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Such security is a good thing! However, I have some blithering fantasies about what you can have done with some of your sharps, so that Drumpf can no longer use his sharpies.
‘Toon: How nice a coincidence that this anniversary should come at a time wherein so many rights are being threatened by Drumpf!
New Yorker: What, does Pence have the capacity to get around NYC on his own? Can he even tell uptown from downtown? Oh, of course, he’s got the secret service to show him the way.
Trae: No, I can’t stay for this one.
RR: Of course! No surprise.
Cartoon: Goin’ out the window…imho
NYer: He’s probably on the lookout for the sharpies, so that he can sniff them.(huffing)
Trae: This is outta this world, y’all. lol
RR: Bummer. Good video though, Mr. Reich, passing on!
Hi, Wendy! Glad that your security is tight like that, I wouldn’t want anything bad happening to you! Hope that you get your chores done, take good care, and Thanks, Tom.

Wendy says Hi!
5:13 The shirt really brings out the eyes. I don’t know that I would call a lynx-point Himmie “white,” though.
Cartoon – Some are very, very sick, but not quite dead yet. One which really should not survive is disgustingly healthy.
TNY – Not quite straight news. It wasn’t a “transcript” but a “summary.”
Trae – Sheesh, TC, no wonder you need omeprazole.
RR – This is the kind of seeing-through that anyone, absolutely anyone, can do if they only pay attention. And the exact things could be truly said about the economy under Reagan, Bust I, and Bush II. I really don’t get why people fall for Republican BS EVERY TIME.
Short Takes: Cheat-oh seems to think that he can change reality with Sharpies, or at least with his tweets. Hey, who wouldn’t want to change reality?
RRC: This is yet another must-see from Rob Reich.
Cartoon: Something they don’t seem to respect any longer.
Trae: I can understand why you need the stomach aid. So would I.
RR: Excellent video. But have to agree with Joanne’s comment.
I’m happy to hear about they type of security your place offers you. With all of the crap going on, it’s well worth it TC.
Hope you had a good visit with Wendy, and had a good rest of your day.
Take care.
3:11 oh, those eyes!
Cartoon: It went out of print soon after.
TNY: You mean to imply that Trump can write, Andy. So far I’ve only seen him painstakingly imitate a seismographic record and then call it his signature.
Trae: undoubtedly both funny and informative, but at this point in my life I neither have the time nor the inclination to watch someone else watch TV.
RR: Spot on. As always.
Thanks and Hugs to all!
